The Campobello Whale Rescue Team (CWRT) successfully disentangled a humpback whale Tuesday evening 50 miles offshore in the Bay of Fundy. The whale was identified by the Center for Coastal Studies as 9 year-old "Hangglide," a frequent visitor to these waters.

Caught up in two lobster trawls, the whale was anchored to the sea floor, unable to free itself. "We're lucky it was a clear day," said Mackie Green, leader of the Campobello Whale Rescue Team. "If there had been bad weather, that whale could have easily drowned before we got to him."
